At the foot of the mountain, Xie Zhen put the big worm on the ox cart, and only pressed a board cart to squeak, and everyone was amazed. Orion first called a villager and told him to hurry up and report to the villagers that he was in the office. The rest of the people gathered around Xie Zhenwang's village.

After a long walk, I saw a village in the distance. A group of people in front of the village were waiting there, and when they saw Xie Zhen and them, they beat gongs and drums to greet them. Listening to the detailed explanations of those villagers, they were all applauded.

One of the elders at the head is here Lizheng. I heard him say: "Because of this beast, I don't know how many lives have been harmed, and the countryside is disturbed. Fortunately, the strong man came, except for this great evil. It is the blessing of the villagers, the luck of the guests, and the gift of the strong man! ”

Xie Zhen thanked him: "It's not the ability of a kid, and it depends on the blessings of the people." Li Zheng smiled and poured three bowls of wine on the wooden table, and asked Xie Zhen to eat. Xie Zhen looked at Luan Tingyu, saw him smiling and nodding, also smiled, thanked the crowd, picked up the wine bowl, one bite is a bowl, eat clean.

Seeing that he ate boldly and happily, he applauded again. When they carried him into the village, they saw many men and women slaughtering pigs and sheep, cooking vegetables and warm wine, and setting feasts to congratulate them. Li Zheng asked Xie Zhen and they went to the village to sit on the village, and the villagers and households came to talk. Li Zheng asked how to fight the big worm, and Xie Zhen told the story of the tiger in detail. When the villagers heard this, they couldn't help but say: "What a hero!" Li Zheng called a table to set up a feast, and the vegetables, wine, and meat were put on the table like flowing water, and everyone came to drink with him.

When it was busy, a person came in and whispered a few times in Lizheng's ear. Seeing that Li Zheng got up, he smiled at Xie Zhen and said: "I learned that someone killed the big worm, the county lieutenant was very happy, and he sent someone to invite him to meet at the mansion. "Xie Zhen is not easy to refuse.

Luan Tingyu saw that the county lieutenant summoned Brother Jianzhen, and it was inconvenient for him to accompany him, so he took the initiative to say: "Brother is not going to prevent trouble, the left and right are already close to Dengzhou, I will go to find my junior brother." ”

Xie Zhen was afraid that Luan Tingyu would not be able to find a way, so he said: "Brother doesn't know, Brother Tizhi has been training soldiers and horses for a long time, and he eats and lives in the barracks, so I'm afraid it will not be easy to find." My sister opened a restaurant in Magpie Lane in the city, called Kung Fu Restaurant. When my brother is looking for someone, it is more convenient to let my brother-in-law follow him. ”

Luan Tingyu smiled when she heard it: "Listening to the name, you know that the other sister is also a woman who does not let her eyebrows!" ”

Li Zheng saw that Luan Tingyu was looking for someone, and also arranged for Zhuang Ke to lead the way. Luan Tingyu and the Xie Zhen brothers agreed to meet tomorrow at the Kung Fu Restaurant, so they said goodbye and left.

The Zhuang Ke took Luan Tingyu to find Gu's sister-in-law, and without delay, he went straight to the east gate and looked at the ten miles of cards.

?? Gu's sister-in-law and his wife opened a hotel outside the east gate, and their family also killed cattle and gambled.

?? Killing cattle and gambling are all illegal activities, but Gu's sister-in-law's husband's family is Xie Zhen's uncle and brother, Chi Sun Xin.

?? Sun Xin's elder brother Sun Li is a soldier and horse in Dengzhou, and naturally no one cares about them killing cattle and gambling.

?? Luan Tingyu found Gu's sister-in-law's hotel, only to see beef and sheep hanging in front of the door, and a cluster of people gambling there in the back room.

?? There is a woman sitting on the counter, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, twenty-five or sixteen years old, her hair is wrapped in a purple gauze bun, a jasper step is swayed obliquely, a red flower is inserted on the sideburns, and her face is rubbed with some light fat lead powder, and she also has a little look, wearing a green gauze shirt, a light red silk skirt is tied underneath, and there are double knives hanging from her waist.

?? Luan Tingyu entered the store, looked at Gu's sister-in-law, and sang: "Is the surname Sun here?" ”

?? Sister-in-law Gu nodded and said, "Yes." But you want to sell wine, but you want to buy meat? If you want to gamble, please sit in the back. ”

?? Luan Tingyu said: "The villain is Luan Tingyu, the senior brother of Sun Tishi, who passed by Dengzhou to disturb one or two. ”

?? Sister-in-law Gu heard that it was a relative, so she quickly stood up and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is Senior Brother Luan, and please worship tea inside, I will go to call the official." ”

Gu's sister-in-law's official Sun Xin learned kung fu from his brother Sun Li, so Gu's sister-in-law called Senior Brother Luan Tingyu.

?? Luan Tingyu followed up and sat down in the guest seat inside.

?? Sister-in-law Gu asked: "I heard that my senior brother is working in other states, and the family is poor and busy, so we have never met. What wind is blowing to get this today? ”

?? Luan Tingyu said: "I have to be free left and right, and walk around with relatives and friends." But it happened that today I met two brothers in the mountains and forests. One is a two-headed snake and the other is a two-tailed scorpion Jiebao. turned out to be a good man who fought tigers. ”

So Luan Tingyu told the story of Brother Xie Zhen's fight against the tiger, and Sister-in-law Gu was very happy to hear it.

"His brother has been traveling through the mountains for a long time, and my sister is in the city and doesn't come to visit him often." Sister-in-law Gu said complaining in her mouth, but her face was happy.

After waiting for a while, the outside guys had already found Sun Xin, but he was a big black man, born majestic, about thirty years old.

Sun Xin entered the inner hall and looked at Luan Tingyu bowing down. "Little brother Sun Xin has seen my brother!"

Luan Tingyu helped Sun Xin, although the two brothers met for the first time, they were both heroes, and they talked coolly at first sight.

The county lieutenant wanted to see the heroes who fought the tiger, Li Zheng didn't dare to slack off, asked someone to arrange, invited a few bowls of wine, and a few old villagers to accompany Xie Zhen, and let the hunters carry the tiger forward, and looked at the county lieutenant's manor to go up.

Xie Zhen and his entourage, walking three or five miles of road, they saw a big manor, hanging a pineapple wooden plaque on the door, two gilded characters of Chen's Mansion on it, squatting left and right with two shaking stone lions, adding a bit of majesty to Zhuangzi. In front of the vermilion lacquer door, there were three or five fierce men, standing bored.

When he saw it, he stepped forward and handed over a few pieces of loose silver, and spoke to the head, asking him to tell the county lieutenant that the hero who fought the tiger had arrived. And when the man had received the money, he went to repay it. After waiting for a long time, the man came out and said that the county lieutenant was drinking in the back garden, and invited them over.

Then the people were allowed to come in. This manor is built deeply, and it takes a while to come to the back garden. I saw that in a pavilion in the middle, there was a middle-aged man wearing silk and jade, who looked burly and majestic, and it was here that Chen County Lieutenant.

He was originally an idler, single-mindedly indiscriminate in the township, and also had some unknown deeds, and he had a lot of money. With the help of the relationship between his uncle Mao Taigong and his brother-in-law Liu's case, he spent countless money to find a vacancy in the county, and in a few years, he sent many favors to achieve the position of county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant Chen was eating wine in the pavilion, and when he saw the big colorful insects, he was overjoyed, and he came to meet him in person, and invited Xie Zhen and them to sit down on the pavilion and ask the reason for killing the tiger. Xie Zhen looked a little tired, so he asked Li Zheng to say the words that killed the big worm.

County Lieutenant Chen was stunned when he heard this, and after admiring it for a while, he said: "Such a fierce big insect, such a bright coat color, it is really a rare mascot Ruizhao!" ”

Xie Zhen was a little puzzled, and said: "This big insect is rampant in the township, eating and harming people's lives, how can it be auspicious?" ”

County Lieutenant Chen said: "It was indeed a scourge when it was alive, but now it is a good thing if it is killed." For this matter, you have also made some efforts, this official has always rewarded and punished clearly, and he is in charge here, so he will reward you with a hundred dollars for the county government and show the kindness of the court! ”

Xie Zhen said: "The adults are kind, the boys are good, but I don't want to reward money." ”

Chen County Wei said happily: "It's rare for you to be like this, it's not easy to know the government!" If you don't want to reward money, if you ask for anything, when the time comes, the official can call the shots! ”
